It was a shock to many Galaxy fans when Curt Onalfo was abruptly let go and replaced by Sigi Schmid yesterday morning. The former head coach just released a statement on social media, independent of the team.
“The first half of the 2017 season was filled with tremendous adversity.
Significant injuries to 7 key LA Galaxy starters Sebastian Lletget, Jermaine Jones, Robbie Rogers, Baggio Husidic, Gyasi Zardes, Bryan Rowe and Daniel Steres all missed a minimum of 10 games each during the first half of the season.
Additionally, National team call ups for Gio Dos Santos (Confederations Cup, missed 7 games) and Gyasi Zardes (Gold Cup) led to more missed games.
